How American Women find' Titled Itudbahdt
" Abroad The European -Matgh-Alakeff. j
It has been and is now apparent the aim of
some American women to go abroad to find bus
bands, either far themselves or their daughters,
so that the whole subject has assumed serious
importance, and pribably at this vefj hour there
are scores,-perhaps' hundreds of Americans g;rls
abroad who arej thinking of the n atter then -
selves with an ye to a direct applicant forjtheir
band. Y e know very, well that good matches
are sometimes made there, and that Germans,
and even F tench inen and Italians, have made
good husbands to our daughters.! But the chan
ces are quite tbje other way' and the difference
of birth and manners is apt to be a root of dis
cord. - There is a difference in the , very starting
idea of the marriage relation between the; "two
worlds, and an American woman cannot expect
to find in a foreign husband the same thorough
recognition of her asserted equality to him that
prevails in our owq American .men. in one
respect there is no minciug the matter on the
I part of the .Lurnpean lover. lie goes at once
to business, and before he makes open lovoto
the daughter hputs the matter, 'of money to the
father, and finds qui precisely what temay ex
pect. This is out a charming aspect of the Idve
relation to our American vision; for we take1 it
f r granted thai a man ought to marry mainly
for love, while we do not object to having a
little thrown iulo the bargain if it bappenslto be
convenient. Mj'e have what we call tire Ameri
can system on this subject, and it is the; best
system .with alljdue wisdom in carryiug it out.
It seems to keep its place with our best Ameri
can families in Europe, and I was greatly pleased,
in Paris, to henr a flue girl who had been aked
in marriage by an Italian prince, on certain finan
cial conditions within her ability, say that she
was wholly American on that point American
I think she said, "to the ; back bone;" a ,very
memorable comparison in case of one whose
vertebrae were so prettily strung together! and
gracefully poised as hers. She meant to say that
she should marty the man who j loved her and
whom she loved, and she was not. in ! the -market
for'a bid, and tlat the prince might go to his
own sulphur estates, or down lower, before he
could have her br her money. ' "'
There issomfthing, indeed, to be said in be
half of this onen bar;aiuing for a wife, for a man
adds to li is expenses by marriage and it is a
comfort to haveia little help in nieeting the ex
tra outlay. Yejt the foreign curftorn robs mar
riage of its sancity by making -money the first
thing, and teniptiug men to bestow their affection
uptin mistressesi and reserve their cold thrift and i
prudence for thf wife. Too often a reprobate
who has squandered his patrimony ,in gambl'P
and licientiousness looks to a wife to save him
from utter ruin j And perhaps pay what are
called the debts of honor. I We have had' ful
enough ot this thins:, and it is time that; our
American parents understood ; what they are
doing with their daughters. It seems to, me
that Americans have Jet themselves down very
much by falling into
foreign wavs, and even
Kiojr to their e-xtrchies
A lady in high'officia
position told me1, in iParis, that she had received
a formal proposition1 from a leading marriage
broker to furnish him with a list ot American
trirls who wished to unite their wealth with th
titles of vounsr Frenchmen of rank, and that the
fellow did not appear to think he was overstep
ping the bounds of impropriety' in making! the
surjestion. It was to bean honorable piece pt
usiucss on nis part tne uien onereu : were to
be bona fide, of I gentle or noble blood, and no
compensation was expected until the negotiations
had been Completed. ( Ihe plan wasto coyer
the Italian as well as the French market. Sand
the banker had on his lists the merchantable
officers of the Pope's Zouaves, as; well as a large
assortment bf the poor gentry ot t ranee, r Very
likely we laugh too remorselessly at such doings,
anu lorgei inat mere is Bouieunnj; i-u ue raw yn
that side in behalf of matching that old Euro
pean blood and culture with, our new beauty and
money.- -Letter io the JS'cw lark ' Jrust. j
' Wants to Come Home.
The following letter, (savs the YorkvillejEn-
quirer) handed us for publication, furnishes an
instance ot the tact mat colored men, annougn
they take the political advice of any stranger jn
preference go to '-old master" when they heed
pecuniary help. The writer left York county
three years ago, aud no news has come frtan him
since that time until now. j. His letter ii brief
and to the point! He is in a distant State, not
"getting along well." We commend 1 his ex-
perience to the attention of others who may be
thinking about leaving the place of their birth j
to try their; for juues ; among strangers. It ps
not everyone that moves away who betters him
self. Merely moving away will not put money
in any man's pocket, and unless they have some
positive assurance that! they are ! to profit by a
change, nine out of ten will be better off among
their old friends than anywhere j else. But to

Conservatism and Moderation Triarapliajit
Soon after the late Presidential election many
intelligent and patriotic men, of all the bid par
ties in North Carolina, saw the! necessity of .ac
cepting the political situation in good faithsof
accepting the reconstruction , qcta of Congress
and the fifteenth amendment, with the civil and
political , rights they confer upon the colored
people as a finality.' Indeed some of them saw
it; even befctre the Presidential election, and de
sired to run Chief Justice Chase on that platform.-
They saw, too, the necessity of a more
liberal political organization to redeem the State
from the hands of the corrupt radical demagogues
and "Carpet Baggers," who had managed, during
the upheavings'of !a great social and political
revolution, to install themselves I in to most of the
offices' in North Carolina, and who were rapidly
harrying her on to disgrace ancf destruction, as
well as to prevent her from fallitig into the hands
of extreme, revengeful and relentless men on

is an error. . It is true that the act, as originally
passed, had such a Clause, the operation of which
was postponed one year. J5efor6 the expiration;
ot that year yongress passed an amendatory act
which repealed that clause arid provided, in place
thereof, that no petitioner should bo eutitled to

- Hon About the Evergreen Grass.
Some months ago, I wrole you an articld ia
which I gave the benefit of my experience and
observation In the adaptation of "Tha Tarn
Grasses" to the soil of the Carolina. .
- I wrote- then with the view of encouraging
the sowing of grasses, while it was yet time to
do so, and I would have made another effort to
arouse our people to the importance of the sub
ject but was prevented, and now the time for
spring sowing is at hand, and if you will give
met the use of your pages, I will endeavor to
show that evergreen grass suits our people beat,
and is particularly adapted to our section.
In the article alluded to, I wis able to give
evidences of the experience of many of our best
farmers who have successfully grown clover and.
orchard grass, while evergreen rass, which waa
in my judgment .best suited to our section of
any tame grass in use. was so little known here
that, notwithstanding it had recommended itself
to that section in Virginia cast of the Blue Uidge,
which in sul and climate so' nearly resembles our
own, l Hesitated to do more than call attention'
tO It. , j .
Since then I have seen it growing luxuriantly
.1 - e . w ta m .
in tnis tate, ana 1 am so well assured oi toe
benefits which will flow from its extended intro
duction, in affording summer and winter pastur
age and upland hay, in fields now covered with
broom-sedge, that 1 feel constrained to give its
main features condensed as much as possible.
I have long sinco discovered 'that so long as
cotton commands twenty cents per pound, the
cotton planter will turn a deaf car to that man,
be he Virgiuian or Keutuckian, who will attempt
to prove that a rich lot. well set in clover, will,
besides improving the lot, yield remunerative
returns. Hence, I say the grass known in Vir
ginia as evergreen, best suits the planters of the
Carolinas. Its features are briefly told. First,
let ine remark that there is no grass more easily
removed fivui a field by the use of a two horse
plow. : . - .
It will grow on any land which will produce
good oats. It continues green and growing
nearly, the .whohj winter in Virginia, hence id
name, while in a warmer climate it will.' I think,
be a good pasture through the entire winter. It
makes a strong tussock, thus holding the toil
and resisting the effect of washing rains upon
the soil. The sod when turned under greatly
enriches the land. In good soil it will grow five
feet high, but in our exhausted binds it will
scarcely grow higher than oat. It unquestion
ably has greater teuaeity of life during our
severe drouths than any tame grass known, and
though apparently seared and scorched by the -rays
of the sun. jet iu the fall of the year, it re
assumes its green habiliments with which to sup
ply food for Ptock in winter. If a field of it is
kept for hay, two crops is the yield per annum.
The hay, while not equal to Tiuiuthy, is but
little inferior to it.
It should be sown on oat land well prepared
by the plow and hit r row. the seed to be sown at
the rate of one bushel per acre on top of tho soil
and slightly brushed in. The field thus sowed
should not bo used as a pasture uutil the follow
jng year. .
The advantages flowing from the use nf ever
greet grass are these: Dy sowing the lands in
this grass,' catt le and hogs can be supplied, with
out going to the corn crib, with provender of
which they are exceedingly fund. Stock will be
fat the year round. When the mules are unem
ployed, this grass will support thera handnomely,
and not salivate them as does clover. - Land
now washing away and soon to be thrown out,
will be reclaimed aud rendered a source of great
profit. If these reasons are not sufficiently
cogent, I must confess my inability to say any
thing, even if I possessed better powers of com
position," showing why I urge the universal use
of evergreen grass in the Statts of North and
South Carolina. I 'alley Virginian. , -
The Georgetown and Charlotte Railroad.
:This road is chartered to run, by the most
practicable route, from Georgetown to Charlotte,
STorth Carolina, via UUhopville, South Carolina.
It will crops the Northeastern railroad at Cade's
or' Graham's Crofs Iloads, and the Wilmington
& Manchester railroad at or near Lyucbburg.
From Bishopviiy it will run parallel tojynch'a
Creek, aud, but a few miles from it, to Taxahaw,
and then, by the most direct line, to Charlotte;
or, if the surveys and subscriptions warrant it,
the line may be deflected from Bishopvi lie more
to the west and run near Lancaster Court House
and thence to Charlotte, By the first line, tho
road will be about 155 miVs long; by the latter
it may' reach ICO miles. The road from George
town to near tho Northeastern railroad was
graded in 1SG2, fa dixtantfe of forty miles.) and
ior over sixty nines anove inai point me cnarsc
ter of the country is such that the grading wil(
cost little more than what ia necessary to grub
and ditch the roadway. Ihe line, for 140 miles,
runs through the very best pine timber of orig
inal growth, and f the finest quality for lumber
and producing naval slons The country tn
the immediate vicinity is alo one of the Lest
cotton regions in the State. Thiroad will give
Charlotte a connection with the seaboard ef South
Carolina thirty-five miles nearer than any other
route and reventy-fire miles nearer Charleston
than by the line via Columbia, and will, when
the lines of road now projected are completed.
open up a direct line to Cincinnati from the ses
board nearer than soy line that can be built.
